New stabbing incision pain 5+ weeks out



Recommended Posts

Hi all, my wounds never really hurt before, no sign of infection like redness or ozing etc.

However about 2 inches above my main central scar (and sometimes on under the scar it's self) the last two days on certain movements or pressure applied feels like i am being stabbed with a small knife! It does not hut constantly but when it does it's a 9/10 on the pain scale and I yell out.

I'm no expert but I don't think it's my sleeve, I think it's the muscle or fat or whatever is in there at that more shallow depth.

I don't know what could be causing this this far out - I've not done anything to strain it so it' seems strange it has suddenly occurred. Anyone else had this and a diagnose?

I have been experiencing that and my NP said it was the dissolving stitches inside separating from the flesh as it heals. I know how bad it hurts when you move a certain way. I put a warm pad their and it helped.

All the best and hope you feel better soon

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
